The authors voice comes through crystal clear through the well developed characters and arcs she’s devised for this debut novel. It leaves you with a lot to think about. But is, at the same time, very readable, quick, and even funny. It hits many of the right notes for me.

I kept waiting for this book to have a point and it never did. I had hoped that the ending would wrap things up, but it didn’t. I didn’t like any of the characters and they all just got to be more annoying over time. I generally don’t like not finishing books, so I got through this one because it was relatively short and at least moved quickly.

Fucking terrible ending but overall very very good. Also the undiagnosed narcissistic mother was one of the most infuriating characters I’ve ever encountered.
